A 33-year-old man stole a San Antonio Fire Department ambulance and crashed it into three vehicles Tuesday, injuring one driver, shortly before abandoning it on the ramp leading from Interstate 10 to Loop 410.

The ambulance, drifting backwards without a driver, then hit a pursuing police car, an SAFD official said.

The collisions shut down the I-10 westbound lanes just before rush hour. Paramedics had responded to reports of a man, identified as Alfred Trevino, having trouble breathing in the 3500 block of Goliad.
